Friday "Fun-terview": Priscilla Ono

 I'd like to introduce you to my friend and brilliantly talented make-up artist, Priscilla Ono.
I asked Priscilla, last night is she wanted to answer a few "fun-terview" (like an interview, but more fun!) questions...so I could blog about how awesome she is!
So here is my very first "Kandee Funterview and chance to get to meet someone awesome!"
Priscilla has fear-less style. Make-Up Skills sharper than a Ginsu knife. And is sweeter than a cupcake! I heart her and this is how we met:

(the picture above- Priscilla offered to do my make-up when I went to the Emmy's- I always do my own make-up, so I loved seeing how Priscilla did my make-up and I LOVED it!)  

I first saw Priscilla at IMATS (the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show) in LA. We were both trying to fight the masses at the Make-Up Forever booth- and the second I saw her, with her yellow lipstick, platinum blonde hair and uber cool style- I thought, "this girl is 1, incredibly beautiful and 2, has awesome style, and 3, her make-up is A-to-the-MAY-ZING!" - we smiled at each other but didn't speak.
FAST FORWARD- we are both friends with the incredibly talented make-up artist and super-duper nice, Sharon Gault (AKA Mama Make-Up), who is responsible for the Lady Gaga lighting bolt make-up...Sharon brought Priscilla with her one day when we were gonna meet up...
I met her and the rest is history class.

 I just want to stare at Priscilla's hair- every time I see her she has a totally new hair color and cut! I love it! Here she is with the boldy bald beauty, Amber Rose.
